Visible Energy

Visible Energy, Inc. is a boutique consulting and IoT design firm based in Palo Alto, California, and serving the start-up and research community of Silicon Valley.

Visible Energy helps companies to deliver WiFi connected products and to create their own cloud infrastructure and mobile applications.

Their technology portfolio is the key for rapid prototyping IoT solutions and it includes a variety of inexpensive hardware reference designs based on a WICED module, software libraries, and cloud software needed to create an end-to-end connectivity solution. As part of their practice, they have developed a real-time, highly scalable and secure software cloud platform Cometa, derived from software originally developed for their own energy efficiency products.

Their approach is in addressing the common needs of IoT and WiFi products, assisting their customers in jumpstart their projects with proven building blocks, and providing guidance from products conception to mass production.

Since their inception, they have pioneered WiFi products to save electricity by using automation and real-time feedback with mobile applications and to provide an extraordinary end-user experience. They have helped companies in energy efficiency, consumer electronics, robotics, retail automation, home automation, video analytics, security, networking, at different stages of development and of various sizes.

Cometa is the software platform that powers the IoT back-end to insure that every connected product is securely accessible in real-time. Cometa is a message bus that has been designed from the ground up for security and realtime device connectivity, with low protocol overhead and milliseconds latency, regardless of the number of devices connected at a given time. It fits devices with WiFi and IP connectivity, and it requires a small footprint software agent in the device. Cometa provides both a REST HTTPS API and the WebSocket protocol used in a mobile or Web application for direct 2-way communication with remote devices.

Stardust IoT is a WiFi and CPU hardware module to power next generation of connected products, based on the Broadcom WICED chipset. Along with the Cometa agent and embedded software libraries, it provides an inexpensive tool for development and fast prototyping of WiFi connected products.
